Starbucks.
Tonight, as i was throwing my $3.50 "tall cafe mocha" starbucks beverage out of a moving vehicle, it occurred to me:
I don't really like starbucks.
I don't enjoy tea. (only on the rare occassion when my throat hurts and/or i am experiencing some other illness)
I have not enjoyed caffeinated beverages in a long time.
I cannot justify spending $3.00 or more on a beverage that:
i. I don't even enjoy the taste of
ii. If i do enjoy the taste, it is because of the obscene amount of whipped cream, sugar, and flavoring (which means it most likely has an exceptional amount of calories compared to the average coffee/hot chocolate/cappuccino/frappuccino) which will just erode my teeth and expand my waistline at a faster rate.
I love hot chocolate and can buy a medium, or even a large, at Tim Hortons for $2.00 or less.
I do like the atmosphere of starbucks, though.
It's more welcoming than the dirty, fast-food, 'stiff/cold' feel of Tim's.
Starbucks is for those who are either: Coffee drinkers, tea drinkers, (caffeine drinkers of any sort, i guess), yuppies, or fashionistas. in my opinion.
